The Secret Service is now erecting walls to hide Donald Trump from news cameras

In case you hadn't heard, Donald Trump is a big fan of walls. He apparently is such a big fan that he set one up at Trump Tower on Friday:

CNN's Carol Costello pointed out the "not-so-beautiful wall" erected outside of Trump Tower, which partially shielded Trump from view as he left for his intelligence briefing. Costello said that CNN's producers could not recall another time that such a measure had been taken.

"Of course, Secret Service actually put it up," Costello said. "We don't know exactly why this happened."
